Chapter 5: Configuring the Dual-Band Wireless A+G Broadband Router
The Applications and Gaming Tab - QoS
Dual-Band Wireless A+G Broadband Router
HTTP (HyperText Transport Protocol). The communications protocol used to connect to servers on the World Wide
Web. Its primary function is to establish a connection with a web server and transmit HTML pages to the client
web browser.
POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3). A standard mail server commonly used on the Internet. It provides a message store
that holds incoming e-mail until users log on and download it. POP3 is a simple system with little selectivity. All
pending messages and attachments are downloaded at the same time. POP3 uses the SMTP messaging protocol.
NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol). The protocol used to connect to Usenet groups on the Internet. Usenet
newsreaders support the NNTP protocol.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data is
passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network
device (hub, router, bridge, etc.) to the workstation console used to oversee the network. The agents return
information contained in a MIB (Management Information Base), which is a data structure that defines what is
obtainable from the device and what can be controlled (turned off, on, etc.).
Priority. Select one of these priority levels: Highest, High, Above Normal, or Normal.
Port. For preset applications, the port number is automatically displayed. For custom applications, enter the
appropriate port number in the Port field.
Enabled. Click the Enabled checkbox to enable QoS for the relevant application.
MAC Address Priority
Depending on the settings of the QoS screen, this feature will assign a specific priority for up to five network
devices.
Name. Enter the name of your network device.
Priority. Select one of these priority levels: Highest, High, Above Normal, or Normal.
MAC. Enter the MAC address of the device.
Enabled. Click the Enabled checkbox to enable QoS for the appropriate MAC address.
LAN Port Priority
QoS allows you to prioritize performance for the Router’s LAN Ports (1-4). It does not require support from your
ISP because the prioritized ports are LAN ports going out to your network.
